LCC, +0.00%
flight destined for Dallas was ordered back to Philadelphia International Airport after authorities received an anonymous tip that liquid explosives might be on board, ABC News reported Thursday morning. ABC said that Philadelphia police received a call at around 7:00 a.m. ET warning that a specific individual was attempting to smuggle liquid explosives past airport security in Philadelphia. Police later located the suspect on the Dallas-bound flight and ordered the flight back to Philadelphia. A check of the suspected man's luggage found no explosives. A subsequent sweep of the plane by FBI bomb technicians and SWAT officers likewise found no threat. ABC added that authorities believe the suspect may have called in the threat himself.
